Letter to the Editor: Top to bottom

Observing yet another time change reminds me an old story I heard on an Indian Reservation when I was in New Mexico. It also reminds me of the economic plan which has been the goal of the Obama administration for the past four years and promise of the same for the next four years.

The story I heard on the reservation was this: In preparation for the cold winter an old Indian chief told his people to cut off the top of their blankets and then sew that portion of the blanket on to the bottom of the blanket to make them longer. Yes, that is utterly ridiculous. So is the idea of taxing the top income earners in this country to give to the lower income folks.

And, by the way so is the moronic idea of Daylight Savings Time. Hopefully today we will eliminate one of those ridiculous ideas. It would be nice to do so with the other as well.
